Summary: Doesn't SFINAE away an invalid substitution into toplevel parameter type "T[N]" Product: gcc Version: 4.6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: schaub.johan...@googlemail.com GCC incorrectly fails to compile this code template<typename T> void f(T[1]) = delete; template<typename T> void f(...); int main() { f<void>(0); } The substitution into "T" should fail, because "T[1]" is an invalid type, and hence the call should use the second template. Note that I think it's unspecified in the spec what happens when we tweak things as follows template<typename T> void f(T[1]) = delete; template<typename T> void f(T*); template<typename T> void f(...); int main() { f<void>(0); } The first two templates are equivalent, but behave different during substitution. The spec doesn't specify what the outcome of this is, I think.
